Leather handbags care tips

Proper storage

You have to ensure that your leather handbag is stored in a proper place always when you are not using it. Store your bag in a closet or any other area with good airflow and low humidity. Keep the bag away from direct sunlight since it may dry out and fade the leather. High humidity, on the other hand, can cause your bag to rot.

Protect the bag

For your bag to last long, try to guard it against accidental stains using a leather protectant. These protectants are available at drugstores and shoe repair stores. This way you are sure your bag cannot pick up any stains easily.

Clean your bag regularly

Leather handbags are usually susceptible to greases and oils that grip. Ensure you wipe the surface of your bag with a damp piece of cotton cloth. However be cautious not to use too much water as leather takes quite some time to dry. Circularly use a cleaner then wipe off using a damp cloth. Care practices recommend that you use soap on your bag once or twice in a year. If you need to moisture the bag, do so using a leather conditioner and make sure you keep it supple.

Soften with your hand

Leather bags normally become buttery-soft over time, but you can speed up this process by laying the bag on a flat surface then roll it bottom to top. Re-rolling the handbag from the other side and turning it inside out then rolling again. This can help to soften your leather handbag easily.

Do not treat stains

You may want to carry your bag around, but this can pose it to accidental stains like grease from foods, ink pen leakages, grass or falling wine. Seek for leather specialists to help you with removing the stain without having to run the leather.
